Good mood. Try not to worry about trifles. When we are nervous, the body is under stress, which can lead to a breakdown and even a failure of the cycle. But endorphins, hormones of joy, on the contrary, have a slight analgesic effect and normalize the psycho-emotional state. So do what you enjoy more often.
Proper nutrition. Increase the number of vegetables and fruits on the menu, drink more water, soothing mint or oregano teas. But it is better not to lean on dairy products, meat and flour. The same goes for coffee and chamomile infusion – these drinks increase bleeding.
Massage… Cramps and pain in the lower abdomen are caused by abrupt contractions of the uterus. Stroking in light circular motions will help relieve tension. The painful sensations will not go away completely, but massage will help alleviate the condition.
Warm shower relaxes and relieves spasms. But the water should not be hot, and you should not use a heating pad under any circumstances. First, the bleeding will only intensify. And secondly, if the cause of the pain is an inflammatory process, this can lead to complications and serious health problems. It is believed that pain can be “frozen”, but ice packs are just as dangerous as overheating.
Embryo pose (lying on its side, legs pulled to the chest) helps to relax the whole body, relieves muscle tension and, as a result, reduces pain.
It is important to remember: pain relievers should not be abused. If you have to take them every month, then something went wrong. The cause must be found and eliminated. Moreover, over time, the body adapts to drugs, they stop working, and in order to achieve the effect, you have to switch to stronger drugs.
